Francesco Marco Aresu, Assistant Professor of Italian Studies at Penn, reflects on the interactions between textuality and materiality, message and medium, visual-verbal discourse and its physical support through readings of Giovanni Boccaccio’s Teseida and Francesco Petrarca’s Rerum vulgarium fragmenta.

You're writing or have finished your dissertation...what's next? Are you planning on publishing based on your dissertation? How does copyright fit in? What are publishers looking for? This workshop will cover these issues and more, discussing your scholarship now and in the future. 

Spend an afternoon with the Vitale Digital Media Lab team as we use our early 2000s digital cameras to capture some of the beautiful outdoor scenery Penn has to offer. During this workshop, you will learn the importance of making photography an accessible medium and why society is repopularizing old photographic formats like the digicam, while also building community with others that share similar interests.

Special Note: Attendees that provide their own photo camera to the workshop do not need to register
